According to 2000 census data, Iowa's population increased by 5.4 percent during the past decade after decreasing by 4.7 percent between 1980 and 1990. This phenomenon began when more immigrants came to Iowa to seek a better living environment and to find jobs. In a rural state like Iowa where people are predominately European Americans or white, their attitudes toward new immigration remarkably reflects public opinion. In fact, Iowa Poll sponsored by The Des Moines Register shows that 58 percent of Iowa adults are opposed to encouraging immigrants to settle in the state (Roos & McCormick, 2000) and 65 percent of them would prefer Iowa's population to increase slowly (McCormick & Roos, 2001). This quantitative thesis examined the attitudes of future teachers in the Teacher Education Program at Iowa State University regarding the recent increased immigration in the state. Secondly, the study examined the differences between the attitudes of the future teachers who are residents of Iowa and the non-residents of Iowa. The questionnaire was administrated to preservice teachers enrolled in six sections of the Multicultural Gender Fair Education course (CI 406) during Spring Semester 2001 and Summer Semester 2001. Data were statistically analyzed and findings were summarized and interpreted. It is important to understand how future teachers in Iowa feel about this social phenomenon of immigration since they will be teaching children who are immigrants.
